American Food

September 7, 2008

Have you ever eaten mac & cheese and thought that it was the best thing that you have ever eaten?  That is what happened to me today.  David’s wife, Mary, brought us mac & cheese today for lunch.  This was the first American food that I have eaten in more than a week.  It was amazing.  The food choices here have been pretty slim.  Our meals consist of rice and some sort of vegetable mush.  It has been a difficult transition so far because the food is so different.  As a treat we are going out for pizza tonight.  It’s really exciting for everyone because we all really need a break from all of the Indian food.  I think that eventually we will all get used to it and maybe look forward to mealtime.  The only thing that I look forward to at meals is having time to talk to everyone.  I really like some of the people in the group but some others I could do without.  I guess that the age difference is difficult because we are at totally different places in our lives.  I think that the sophomore lifestyle is very different from someone who is almost done with their undergraduate studies.
